Things kids say and hear: 3

Monkey Bread

While sampling monkey bread at Trader Joe's, I asked my 4-year old if she would like to try a piece. If you're not familiar with monkey bread, it's fingerfuls of dough that have been dredged in butter, sugar, and cinnamon, then dumped into a pan and baked. It's not healthy at all, but oh-so tasty! (and sticky.) Here is a recipe from Pioneer Woman, if you'd like to try it. It's easy and kids love to help make it and eat it. Well, some kids don't.

So, I offered a piece to each my 3 girls, with the older two happily sampling. Child C, however, looked at me with wide eyes and insisted she did not want to try it, which surprised me. So I asked her, “Do you know what monkey bread is?”Her: “Yep.”Me: "You do? What is it?"Her, in a shy squeaky voice: "Uh-uh."Me: “Is it made of monkey toes?”Her, giggling: “Nope.”Me: “Is it made of monkey eyes?”Her, giggling more: “Nope”Me: “Well then, what is it made of?”Her: “CAT!”

About Me

We are a homeschooling family and I started blogging during a chick-hatching project. Now I've expanded to include some of our homeschooling journey, the fun and quirky things kids say and do, raising kids on opposite ends of Sensory Processing Disorder, and just sharing a bit of everyday life.

So glad you came to visit!

My 4 children keep me on my toes! Here, I am happy to share some of those amusing, and sometimes humorously stressful, moments with you. If you would like to visit the blog that inspired this one, hop on over to my home-schooling blog where I chronicled our chick-hatching project from 2008 and the highlights of one of my daughters taking apart the cash register at Wal-mart. (I elaborated on that experience here after some time went by and I was better able to laugh about it.)

I hope a glimpse into our lives helps bring you a laugh - either with us or at us, maybe even at your own life. Enjoy!
